The same goes for backports (people that have enabled them have taken the decision themselves that they want to run the latest and greatest software). Pinning the repository is unnecessary because they are disabled by default anyway. It would make it practically useless to those of us who want to help test these packages in *-proposed, as we wouldn't automatically be notified of the updates which need testing. That would mean that people who wanted to help test would have to enable the repository, and then un-pin it too (or manually search for packages that need testing). Regards Chris
